Sega releases Sonic Mania opening animation video

Sonic Mania celebrates the best of Classic Sonic, pushing the envelope forward with stunning 60 FPS gameplay and pixel-perfect physics, and will feature a split-screen multiplayer competitive mode. Sega made a decision to delay this release in order to better optimize the game. The creative team was even showing off one of the physical Collector's Edition boxes off during the live stream, showing off what console owners can expect from the package on August 15. However, people who have pre-ordered the game will receive another Sonic the Hedgehog game to make up for the game's unexpected tardiness.

Today during a live unboxing stream of the Sonic Mania collector's edition, it was revealed that unfortunately for PC owners, the game will be delayed until August 29.

Copies of Sega's new retro Sonic game have leaked out early, so Sega has released an official look at its wonderfully '90s intro. We're always hearing about how buggy games are at launch these days. I've seen the intro of Sonic CD more times than I can count, and I'll certainly watch the intro for Sonic Mania a ton of times too.

If you haven't already, you can still pre-order Sonic Mania from Amazon.
